  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry puree (made by blending fresh or frozen strawberries)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheets:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. Make the Strawberry Cake Mix Cookies:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs.

5. Make the Strawberry Lemon Glaze:

  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and strawberry puree until smooth and well combined.
  • If the glaze is too thick, add a little more lemon juice. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency.
